Also because newer generations just aren’t sold on diamonds being a luxury item anymore. Your average Joe just isn’t paying their rent or more on a diamond engagement/wedding ring like they used to because, well, that’s their rent payment or mortgage for something that’s gonna lose value the second they walk out of the store.
Honestly out of all 12 steps it’s the first step that actually hits the hardest.
“We admitted we were powerless over alchohol (although you could substitute alcohol for anything really)—that our lives had become unmanageable.”
As my shrink used to say “the hardest part of overcoming a problem or mistake is admitting you have a problem/made a mistake.”
That said, before multiplayer was centralised, you checked the server pingtime before joining the server.
Scrolling through servers on CS:Source trying to find one that wasn’t pinging harder than my anxiety… Those were the days.
There’s still a way to do it but it’s convoluted compared to if they’d just add a damn resource monitor into the game itself.
If you still care about figuring out your ping: this comment on reddit from a year ago tells you how to find your games server IP, from there you can just fire up command prompt and hit with
ping -n 100 <IP/Adress>
This should return your ping and packet loss with the server.
Blind definitely helped me understand DF a lot better.
Definitely in the category of “ol’ reliable” in terms of watches but I like the Pro-Trek because of some of the added features like the compass, barometer and altimeter.
I’ve had mine for a good while now and it’s out up with all maner of abuse. Plus mine has a canvas strap that I prefer over metal or silicone.

It’s a matter of finding where the line between cost and user satisfaction meet.
Like sure you could limit all videos to 60fps @ 720p or 30fps @ 1080p but most everyone now wants everything 120fps @ 2160p which takes up dozens of gigs per video and eats up bandwidth.

I feel sorry for Wozniak… Watching the company he helped build turn into what it has.
I think a big part of that is just straight up storage space, more specially a lack thereof. Google won’t release specifics but estimates put the total data stored by YouTube at somewhere near an exabyte (1 million terrabytes). Most of which is made up by video files.
Of course that’s just issue number 1 of many to figure out.
Yea peertube is rough… Mostly in part due to, in my opinion at least, people wanting to make use of YouTube’s ad revenue system even tho most creators I watch making most of their income via donations rather than ad revenue.
And extreme toxicity to the point that it drives everyone away from them so they just start with some Olympic level mental gymnastics to explain why it’s not their fault people hate them.
Industrial diamonds have always been on the cheap and that industry is far removed from the jewelry/gem industry, in fact a large majority of diamonds that are mined aren’t gem grade, they’re industrial grade. It’s been growing and advancing despite the jewelry/gem market starting to fall.
